is headed by a moron. Although, I suppose he keeps his paying members happy, which is the most important thing to keep the cash flowing to fund the stupidity he talks about and proposes.
So far, he’s come out against nuclear power, hydro-electric power, pipelines and sunshine. Sorry, I made up the part about an opposition to sunshine. He should pull his head out in order to let a little shine in.
No nuclear, no river dams, no pipelines. Just how does such an organization propose to keep civilization running? Moss? Wood fires? Nope, we can’t have wood fires either. Too much pollution is caused by wood smoke.
Oh, oh, unless… Wind turbines. But wait, wind turbines make too much unbearable low frequency noise.
Solar. Yes! Solar. Sunshine and blue skies will solve all the problems.
Dimwits.
Have you ever wondered why your laptop gets so much scrutiny and your other electronic devices so little? It’s all about keeping up appearances.
“I happened upon a security expert who asked that he not be identified because he has worked on related issues with the Department of Homeland Security. He said that the laptop rule is about appearances, giving people a sense that something is being done to protect them. “Security theater,” he called it.”
“If the government really wanted to cover the dangers posed by electronics, he said, it would need to carefully inspect all manner of electronics, from phones to netbooks to tablets, to look for increasingly small and sophisticated weapons.” —The Mystery of the Flying Laptop, The New York Times, April 4, 2012.
Morons, all of them.
How nice to be living right next door to a country such as this.
[snip] the apparent process by which U.S. citizens can be marked as a capture or kill target is designed to protect the president legally. A secret panel out of the White House’s National Security Council reportedly makes the decision, and informs the president [snip] —the Slatest, March 5, 2011
Pathetic, isn’t it?
You’d think Canada had been picked up and moved next door to the Middle East, the Far East, or dropped beside a banana republic in Central or South America. America has turned itself into what it pretends to be against. Even citizens have no human rights-no surprise there given what the country has been doing for decades now. What goes around, comes around.
What a sad spectacle America is in a world it purports to remake in its own image.
Who have they become?
Update 2018: The watch strap turned to mush. Guess what? There is no way to change it out. There are no springs on the mounting pins that attach the strap to the sides of the watch. In other words, it’s just another piece of shit from Polar. Surpised? Not really.

The T31 transmitter on my Polar Electro has broken at one end and is now unwearable. After dutifully trolling the internet for this cheap trash POS, it is apparently a common problem, not only for the heart transmitter, but also for their cheap trash POS watch bands.
Rather than pay prime replacement rate for a Polar Electro T31 cheap trash POS, I have decided to fix this cheap trash POS Polar Electro T31 myself.
Good luck getting me to ever purchase another cheap POS manufactured by Polar Electro.
Should you ever need to replace the battery in this thing, there are plenty of videos covering instructions on how to replace the transmitter battery. It’s a heck of a lot cheaper than paying for a new heart transmitter, considering the battery is only a couple of bucks.
Can someone explain to me exactly how growing a moustache for thirty days contributes to anything other than facial hair that looks childish and ridiculous? The majority of men complain about it, can’t wait to shave it off, and have absolutely no desire to do it again–unless, of course, they’re a public figure attempting to curry favour with the television station they work for. Naturally, the station likes to have people thinking that they’re relevant and contributing to society–by having their male on-air windbags grow hair.
Movember. It has to be the stupidest prank on men ever perpetrated.
I have to applaud the students at UC Davis for their non-violent response to the campus police who were attempting to clear a way through non-violent demonstrators. You’ll have to watch the entire 8-minute video to see what the students did to end up winning.
There’ll be a lot more winning before this is over. Unfortunately, there will be violence also, but not in this case. Here’s a link to the full salon.com article.
I particularly enjoyed UC Davis’ Chanceller Robert Birgenau’s confusion and abject ignorance over what constitutes non-violence. He too is so obviously afraid.
Thank you Ghandi, Rosa Parks, et al for your refusal to be quite literally beaten into submission.
